CLEVELAND, o., November I'VE pre-
dict total vote in the State not much
larger than that of last year. The result
will be close, depending probably on the
vote of the three cities Of Cincinnati,
Cleveland and Toledo, where the labor
party is an uncertain element. Outside
these cities Powell will have "a
plurality of between five and ten
thousand. If the Republican plurality
in these cities does not exceed five thou
sand the Democrats will carry the State.
In this city the Democrats will have a
small plurality. Powell will have the
full Democratic vote, while many Repub-
licans among the farmers and business men
will not vote for Foraker. The indica-
tiOns are good for a Democratic Legisla-
ture. THE PLAIN-DEALER.

Boston, MASS, November 7.-Massa-
Ghusetts political prophets are all at sea.
Democrats are confident, Republicans are
anxious, Prohibitionists are jubilant, and
the man who tries to make an unpreju-
diced forecast is puzzled. Two elements
mix up things-the mugwump and the
revolutionary. The mugwumps put their
strength at anywhere from 5000 to 2O,-
600. Last year it was undoubtedly their
opposition that brought down the Re
publican plurality to less than 10000.
After the present Democratic candidate
Iovering) was nominated they sulked.
They said they would either vote for Re
publican Ames or not vote at all Lover
ingis prospects were therefore diminished
the day after nomination. Since then he
has grown steadily in public favor and
many mugwumps have changed their
minds, but there is no way to determine
how many of them will vote the Demo,
cratic ticket
The Democrats hope to get the mug
wump support through the fact that Re
publican victOrywill be q big Blaine boom,

New YORK, November 7.-Tomorrow
night will witness the wind up of cam
paign that, for mud Singing, VilliticatiOn
and vituperation in its local features, has
never known an equal here in times past.
The State ticket has been completely lost
sight of in the mad chase for city and
county offices The two candidates for the
District Attorneyship have absorbed by
far the greatest share of attention OF the
press. Colonel John Il. Fellows, the reg
ular Democratic nominee and choice of the
United Democrats, at present one of the
Assistant District Attorneys, has for his
opponents De Lancey NicOll, also an As
sistant District Attorney, and though q
Democrat, the choice of the Republicans
and the Democracy of Irving Hall, while
Louis f. Post is the George candidate. So
bitter has the contest been, that the editors
of the World, Sun snd Star have (the for
NOR supporting NiCOlD descended to per-
sonal warfare through their editorial col
umns with weapons of Billingsgate that
would make an original fish woman wish
she were dead
Based on the boOkmaker's estimates,
Colonel Fellows has the call. With the
Democracy solidly for him, it is figured
that he will he winner with good plu-
rality. As to the State ticket, little is
known. Chairman Murphy, of the Demo-
cratic State Committee, whose headquar-
teTs are at the Hoffman House, said yes
terday that the Democratic ticket would
win with big odds. On the other hand,
the Republicans, in their comfortable
quarters at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, feel
Just rs confident of victory. They figure
on the magic in the name of Grant to help
them through. There are three elements,
however, that are uncertain quantities in
Tuesdays battle, and which make the re-
suit problematical. They are the Prohi-
bitionist vote, the George vote and the So
cialist element in the city fight. The
cold. water cohorts have been work.
ing nobly. They have spent money
on good literature, and their vote
in the northern counties will
be heavy. And here let it be remarked,
that the liquor element will be pretty SOL
idly against the Republicans. As for the
George vote, it is conceded that the labor
organizations of this city are going to vote
for him solidly. 1t is not altogether out of
love for Mr.. George, either, but to demon
strate the strength of the laboring masses
OF New York. The Socialists, or Progress
sive Labor party, will have limited vote,
variously estimated at from 1000 to II 600.
The United Labor vote-the GeOrge-Mc-
Glynn contingent-is very uncertain, and
it is safe 10 say that it will surprise great
many politicians who place it at maximum
figures of 10000.
Men who have not made thorough can
vass of the State talk at random when they
make predictions, or else they are inau-
enced by partisan spirit. 1t is very un-
certain, but the indications seem TO point
to Democratic victory.

be not over ten thousand in excess OF

Received by GOV. Oglesby-Petitions Still
Pouring In.
SPRINGFIELD, Lib, November THE
Associated Press representative called at
the Executive mansion this morning. and
interviewed Governor Oglesby regarding
the threatening epistles which he has re-
ceived during the past few days rrom the
Anarchists sympathizers. 81 am very
much afraid" said the Governor, that
that matter has been exaggerated, rs such
reports usually are. 1t is quite true that
| have received threatening communica-
tions, but they have never alarmed me.
Most of them have been received within
the past week, or since the refusal OF the
Supreme Court of the United States TO
take up the matter, and they have usually
consisted of unsigned telegrams and postal
cards. with now and then q sealed letter.
| have never wished to alarm my family,
and for that reason and the fact that ] at
tach no Importance to such threats, these
communications have been generally con-
signed To the aames. DO not think !
have received more than half dozen
threatening communications altogether,
most all written the past week or so. The
newspapers are attaching altogether too
much Importance to these threats The
number of threatening communications
have been very limited indeed.
The Governors mail this morning was
composed of little over 100 letters, nearly
all of which related to the Anarchist case
This is an increase over any previous day,
and the proportion of the requests for Glenn
ency is also said to be somewhat greater
than yesterday. Chicago, as usual, furn-
ished the bulk of the mail on this subject,
and considerable number of the letters
are said to have been marked personal"
or confidential" This is a needless pre-
caution on the part of the writers, IS no
one but the Governor sees his Anarchist
mail. 1t is a significant fact that
most of the communications are devoid of
any firm label or printing of any kind
whatever, that would indicate the identity
of the sender this, together with the fact
that so many of the letters ore marked
personal, would convey the impression
that large majority of the writers are
giving their views to the Governor under a
seal Of confidence, and have a decided dis
inclination to the public being informed as
to their real opinion, regarding the best
policy to be pursued in this crisis This,
without. doubt, has partially Influenced
the Governor 10 refuse ppblicity Of his en-
tire anarchist correspondence.
